The Colombian army made a "funniest home video" of their raking this boat with machine gun fire. Click where it says "video"; then click where it says "banda ancha" (broadband).
if anyone can speekie de lingo please translate a bit of the text as to tell the gist of the tale please.

I understand its an ambush....call me old fashioned but the idea of multiple positions opening up with what at least is GPMG, but which sounds bigger to me, is.....sick. You are of course right tho' the guy in the boat might have skinned 100 children alive.

Also...and am I wrong in this...they all have hoods...then are sitting upright and plodding along at a leisurely pace...I think these guys should maybe lose the hoods and lower their heads I suppose they thought they had cover(t/ed) heads.

Ãlmer Mata or â Albeiro Cordova â was intercepted in a stretch of the river by the specialist group, which managed to locate it after intercepting a communication from a phone satellite, as it informed THE TIME last October 31.

In the image, â Cordova â is in the front part of the longboat and seems as if he had detected the military men camouflaged in the swamp on the banks of the river. Nevertheless, the man tries to give orders.

In this moment, the military men receive the order to shoot and a blast of machine guns and rifles impact on the boats.

â Cordova â and â Hyacinth â, chief of the front 39 â who also was mobilized in the longboatsâ, die at once. According to information of the Army, the guerrilla column (approximately 100 men), was going to Pipe Rubiales, where three petroleum wells exist.

Who was â Albeiro Cordova â?

Ãlmer Mata Caviedes, alias â Albeiro Cordova â, was a member for more than 30 years of the Farc and was a son of Noel Mata, â EfraÃ­n GuzmÃ¡n â, member of the secretariat that died in 2003, and was replaced by IvÃ¡n Rivers. He was a member of a kidnapping syndicate involved in the kidnapping of 2.200 inhabitants of Port Alvira.
